Schiff bases formed from the condensation reaction of S-benzyldithiocarbazate (SBDTC) and S- methyldithiocarbazate (SMDTC) with selected diketones containing isatin derivatives namely isatin,5- fluroisatin,5-chloroisatin,5-bromoisatin and methylisatin have been synthesised.Complexes of cobalt (II), nickel (II), copper (II), zinc (II) and cadmium (II) with these Schiff bases were prepared.X-ray crystallographic study of SB5ClISA and SB5BrISA Schiff bases proved that the condensation reaction between SBDTC with the isatin derivatives occur at the carbonyl position number 3 in the isatin...
